On the nose, fruity and offers concentration, balanced richness, depth, nice texture, fresh boldness and a fine multi-layered side.

On the palate, mineraly, fruity, fresh and offers good definition, complexity, a structure, a nice multi-layered side, freshness, a good gourmandize, a certain intensity and a fine power. The wine expresses notes of pulpy/fresh cassis, bright redcurrant and hints of morello cherry associated with touches of blackberries as well as hints of caramelization and a discreet hint of bourbon vanilla bean. A subtle chewiness on the finish/persistence. The tannins are elegant, racy and offer a very fine chew.
